Miami Monkey Jungle Tasks

Initially, the reserve was conceived as a monkey nursery for endangered species. Human activity and the extermination of monkeys in the wild, reducing the food supply, led many species to the brink of extinction. Zoos, nurseries and reserves were conceived by enthusiasts and scientists as a reserve fund for endangered species with the possibility of studying animals and conducting scientific work.

In 1933, a nursery was created, which was created by Joseph Diamond — a famous scientist and naturalist. As an attraction for visitors, the park was opened a little later. The main task of the research was to study monkeys in their natural environment. For this reason, not monkeys were placed in the cells, but visitors. Initially, free communication between visitors and animals was assumed, but after several incidents it became necessary to mutually protect people and monkeys.

Monkey Jungle Park in Miami is not only a fun and exciting attraction with the ability to directly communicate with wildlife, it is a scientific and veterinary center engaged in serious research. In addition to monkeys, rare species of turtles live in the Miami Monkey Jungle, including giant sea turtles, almost exterminated by humans.
